🕯️ There’s always one last push, one more step toward perfection.
A lot of people stop at 90%, because that final stretch is the hardest and comes when we’re already exhausted.

People are impressed by high salaries, but a salary isn’t wealth.
I earn well, but I’m undercapitalized because I’m young. Someone older, with a lower salary but more net worth, can afford to splurge more than I can.
Net worth >>> Salary.
I don’t aspire to own a house, a car, or an expensive watch. I don’t aspire to upgrade my iPhone every year either.
I aspire to work 4 hours a day doing what I’m passionate about. The new wealth isn’t money, it’s freedom.

Working while everyone else is resting isn’t a sacrifice.
It’s walking empty streets while the world sleeps, with your heart burning and your fists clenched.
It’s telling fate: ‘I’m getting up early today to beat you’ and the future: ‘I’ll be waiting up for you, motherfucker.’
